Local special circumstances: In Rwanda, the Milk Market of the Dairy Products & Eggs Market within The Food market is heavily influenced by geographical and cultural factors. With a predominantly rural population, dairy farming is a key source of income for many families.

This has led to the development of local cooperative systems, which play a crucial role in connecting farmers to buyers. Additionally, cultural preferences for fresh and unprocessed milk have created a niche market for small-scale producers, leading to a diverse range of milk products available to consumers.

Moreover, Rwanda's government has implemented policies to support the dairy sector, such as providing subsidies for dairy farmers and investing in infrastructure to improve milk production and distribution.
